Because the world needs nimble thinkers and powerful communicators, the Center for Writing takes a comprehensive approach to improving writing and writing instruction at the University of Minnesota and throughout the state. Every day, undergraduate and graduate students meet individually with the Center’s writing consultants, face-to-face as well as online. 

With your support, the Center for Writing’s programs will remain accessible to Minnesota’s students and teachers, and we will continue to develop innovative programs to strengthen writing across the curriculum.

Additional Testimonials:

University of Minnesota student, commenting on Student Writing Support services

 

“This seminar went far beyond the writing components of my courses. It helped me to evaluate the ‘purpose’ of everything in the course (reading, assignments, class activities). The time spent in the seminar was well worth the investment. One of the best professional development experiences I have had as an instructor!”
